When can I start situps after surgery?
Did anyone start doing situps again after a few weeks?
I am not going to push it but I hope to get a flatter tummy after all these fibroids are out.

My doc said 8 weeks for exercise but really stressed to TAKE IT EASY. I would definitely talk to your doc about it. Don't underestimate your body's need to heal no matter how great you feel. I am 5 and 1/2 weeks and feel completely normal and I am still taking it easy...It is hard when I feel so good but I want to heal correctly. It is not like we get a second chance to heal. When I went back for my 1 week check up to remove the staples the doc could not believe how good my scar looked. I think it is because I let my fam wait on me hand and foot. Hope this helped. Best to you

yeah, you and me both! 35 pounds exactly to get to my "ideal weight" ok...ideal in my mind, not those stupid charts.
My brother told me once EVERYONE has a six-pack.....for some of us it's just a little better INSULATED!!!!

You can start situps after your doctor clears you to do situps!! And not a moment sooner!!
The risk you take by doing anything too soon is tearing the layers of internal stitches thru layers of abdominal muscle. That can lead to all sorts of complications, including hernias and bowel problems.
Please don't rush this....causing damage to healing internal tissues can set you back months on end, especially if you need a surgical repair of a hernia caused by excercising too soon. I've seen it happen and I've seen the aftermath...not pretty!
Don't rush...what's a few extra weeks when it comes to your health??

your doctor will guide you on this one. I'm sure it is dependent on how much work your doctor has to do inside of you, and all those details.
I was restricted from them for 8+ weeks. But I had a really slow recovery my last two surgeries. Ummm.. also I'll add, that even if he had said go to it, knock your socks off, my body told me nope, it's not quite time yet.
